Denyhosts Alternatives
Denyhosts is described as 'The idea of denying access to SSH servers is nothing new and I was inspired by many other scripts that I discovered. However, none of them did things the way I envisioned them to. Also, they were all shell scripts which do not offer the elegance of Python' and is an app in the network & admin category. There are more than 10 alternatives to Denyhosts for a variety of platforms, including Linux, Windows, Self-Hosted, Mac and Web-based apps. The best Denyhosts alternative is CrowdSec. It's not free, so if you're looking for a free alternative, you could try CrowdSec or Fail2ban. Other great apps like Denyhosts are IPBanPro, reaction, RdpGuard and SpyLog.
